Dozens of never-released photos show former President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jackie, in their swimsuits enjoying a day at the beach on Cape Cod.
They were taken in August 1961 by
Washington Post heiress Katharine Graham at the estate of Rachel “Bunny’’ Mellon and her banker husband, Paul.

I'm just reading The Pink Suit book. It's a great insight into the clothes that Jackie wore. The pink suit is of course what she was wearing on the terrible day jfk was shot
